This week at Rite Aid is so giant that it was hard to get everything in one post. There are several different promotions worth checking out this week (hello, FREE stuff!) and here is yet another. If you spend $30 on select Proctor & Gamble products, you will receive a $10 +UP Reward. Limit one per household.

The Cover Girl single eye shadow is priced right around $3.20, so with the BOGO 50% off deal and the $3/2 coupon could make for some good deals. Please let us know if you come up with any great scenarios!

So i have never done a Rite Aid shopping trip because wellness/ +UP rewards confuse me. But are the wellness/+UP rewards pretty much like the printed catalinas you would get at Safeway or Fred Meyer for an x amount off your next shopping trip? Just that the amount stays on the card rather then get printed?! Sorry i hope this makes since just confused on the whole thing..

That is correct Courtney. For example, if you did the scenario above, you would get a coupon good for $10 off your next purchase of most everything in the store (normal exclusions like alcohol, prescriptions apply). They do automatically load to your card, but you can request that they print instead if that helps you stay organized. I can’t keep track of what’s on my card (even though it’s easy), it just makes more sense for me to have them printed.

It prints on each of your receipts -maybe you can look online also-I have never checked.
Note that they expire in two weeks-so don’t loose them!
If you have couponed at Walgreens-it is similar to their register rewards (but much less complicated-& MANY more ways to save!).
Also this is a nice group of people here-so feel free to ask any question!

yes you can look online and on their app. (I only have android app and cannot attest to the Iphone) You can also remove the +Ups you don’t want to have applied to your purchase but with the card you have to be sure that you are spot on with your total of the purchase or be willing to shell out the extra dollars if you are off. On the other hand….its a fun challenge for a Sunday morning to get your shopping trip right.

If you have enough points-it comes off automatically (did you reach 1000 points last year?).
I know about the receipt coupon you are talking about-I haven’t used one yet, but assumed it is the same as reaching that level on your card, in which case it would automatically work.
What the store told you is generally true-as sale prices are usually 20% or more off-but occasionally they aren’t & that is the example I gave below-you get which ever price is lower (sale or 20% off the regular price).

I am referring to the rite aid 20% off when you reach 1000 points (also when you reach 500 points you get 10%). Good on regular prices & wwith a sale price-if one of these discounts give you a lower price, then you get that price.
You will see them tracking on your receipts-& once you reach it within a year-it continues through the following year.
